Isai 7ff2648cfd [Rule Tuning] SSM Session Started to EC2 Instance (#5068) ...

* [Rule Tuning] SSM Session Started to EC2 Instance

Role/role session noise seen in telemetry due to new fields term using `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.arn`, which is unique for each role session and does not isolate the role itself.

- new fields term change to `cloud.account.id` and `user.name` combination to account for both IAMUsers and Roles across multiple accounts.
- added AWS to the rule name
- reduced execution window
- small edits to description and IG
- added reference from IG to Reference section

* adding highlighted fields

* added EC2 tag

* Update lateral_movement_aws_ssm_start_session_to_ec2_instance.toml

* Apply suggestions from code review
